Soooo..... no discount packs for week 4 of this mega? I understand you don't want to be predictable and want to keep us guessing, but the discount packs are one of the best parts of a mega and the last few mega events have had 4 weeks of discount packs.
This really feels like the tribble mega is going out with a whimper. Chekovs stats and now no discount packs. Darn.

I'm not talking about recap packs. I am talking about the discount packs that contain crew that have a bonus trait for the mega. Two packs a week that launch on Tuesday for 490. We have been getting them for all 4 weeks for the last handful of megas, but this mega has only featured discount packs for 3 weeks. Normally today would have had the final two packs.
Maybe. Personally it took the chances of me spending dilithium today to 0%
This. Odo is pretty good. And needed for the Collection. Which gives the other new Crew, a Legendary.
I noticed a fair amount of overlap. Maybe half of the Tribbled crew have exobiology. That's still a big number. I can think of two other considerations. I don't know their impact, but...
1) How long has the crew been in the game? (Can't put brand new crew in discount packs.)
2) There needs to be a proper ratio of legendaries to SR's to balance the packs.
Again, there may be enough given 70ish or more crew, but maybe these conditions preclude some options and maybe not. I would think Dulmer and Loxley were not included for the first reason above. I don't know about the rest.
1. Does this matter anymore?
2. Who decides what that balance is?
I put a quote on my profile signature years ago, but I want to put it on the record here:
"In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it's us players who define the game." — Nicky Case, "The Evolution of Trust"

EDIT: deleted previous post, as it duplicates stats available in-game
To your second point: I was going by the typical balance of 1 legendary to 2 SR's.
To your first point: they've thrown things out the window recently, so probably not.
Then, by all means, refer back to my quote & let’s rethink how we, the players of the game, can affect its future. Because, to be honest, I see limited positive reaction from the company to years of suggestions, whether in Make It So or elsewhere in these forums. And, I have been here a while, too.
I will never stop advocating for it to be improved, nor will I stop calling out the faults of the company along the way.
YMMV, @Prime Lorca [10FH] , indeed.

18 total 4* crew.
3 were used as event rewards leaving 15 available.
2 packs * 2 crew * 4 weeks = 16 crew
They would have been 1 4* crew short. They could have done one pack, but there weren't enough crew for a second pack.
I think this is a very valid point and it's how I feel.
I have enjoyed this mega a lot. Great art based on some of my favorite episodes and crew, I don't care that their stats weren't amazing. This is the first mega ever where I habe ranked for all four legendaries (top 750 on top of that). On top of that, the previewing of the mega crew art on social media was very appreciated and really helped build my excitement for the mega, someone I made sure to come on here and praise at the time.
My purpose of this post was to make my love of discount packs known, and also draw attention to the fact that it has made an impact on my playing/spending because less discounted packs were offered. I hope that the next mega will provide the same level of value as the previous 4 have.
My monthly card was up yesterday, since I spent no dilithium today I see no urgency for a 3k top up that the monthly card would have provided.
Looking forward to the review packs next week, hope I can FF these crew.
I am still a ways off, I can wait for him to be in the portal. Or a mega discount pack 😉
A pack with Tribbled Sisko and O’Brien would be awesome and get me to buy it and cause me to buy more recaps with the chance of finishing that collection or getting closer to finishing it.
